emulator's assembler.
- Make the symbol table a doublely linked list, in
both ways.
- Optimized the memcopy() function.
- Changed the benchmark timing, to now use a timer, and
stops once the timer reaches zero.
When the timer hits zero, it sends SIGALRM to the
main function, which tells the emulator that the
benchmark is done.

- Simplified the effective address functions.
- Made SuBEditor a bit faster.
- JSR, and RTS now support using the RS prefix, which
is used to specify the return address size, with an
RS prefix of 0 being a return address size of 64
bits, rather than 8 bits.

instruction formatting simpler.
- Refactored the instruction table of the emulator's
assembler, it now has two parts, the addressing mode
bits, and the base value.
The base value is what's used to generate the actual
opcode, with the addressing mode bits telling the
assembler what addressing modes this instruction
supports.
The reason for doing this was to use less space. For
comparison, the previous version used 870 bytes for
the instruction table, while the new version uses
only 222 bytes. The new version is nearly 4 times
smaller than the pervious version.
- The B register based ALU instructions now use their
own addressing mode, and are specified by using 'b'
as the operand for those instructions.
For example, to add the Accumulator with the B
register, you now use "ADC B" instead of "AAB".

- Changed the file structure of the SuB Suite, so that
all variable declarations, symbols, and constants
are in a single file.
- Moved the C library functionss into a separate
file, and made them use stack frames.
- Added support for using the emulator's assembler for
realtime debugging, to enter it, get in to stepping
mode by pressing Ctrl+s, press any other key, then
press F1,
The reason for having to press some other key before
pressing F1 is because it only allows entering the
assembler when the keyboard is not ready.
- Added the ".res" directive to the emulator's
assembler, the ".res" directive tells the assembler
to reserve however many bytes specified by the
operand.
- Fixed some bugs in the emulator's assembler.
